Saigon Evening Walking Street Food Tour

Itinerary
Your local street food tour guide, who is extremely passionate about Vietnamese street cuisine, will pick you up from your hotel by taxi before taking you on your culinary excursion to a non-tourist sector and our first stop will be at a famous local restaurant (over 30 years opening) in district 3 specializing in “Bánh Mì Thịt Nướng” (Southern Banh Mi Style with marinated beef).
You continue to immerse yourself in delectable cuisine as you make your way to the food alleys in the centre of the street food district, where you can sample a tasty "Bún Bò" Lemongrass Beef Noodles Soup, prepared by a local chef with more than 25 years of experience. Next up on your food adventure is "Bánh Cuốn" - Steamed rice rolls. Inside each piece of rolls, the sweet aroma of the mixture of pork, chopped onions, Jicama, mushrooms, salt, fish sauce, and black pepper, all lightly stir-fried before steaming will tantalize the taste eaters’ buds. You will experience the perfect fusion of 4 delicious flavors just after the first bite.
Take a stroll down a street where "all kinds of street foods" are sold before going to a popular restaurant with the neighbourhood to taste "Bánh xèo" and “Bánh Khọt” (South and Central rice pancakes), one of the most popular and extremely traditional dishes in southern of Vietnam , and learn how they are made from a chef with over 20 years experience.
At the night flower market, round up your Saigon street food walking tour with a delicious dessert like coconut ice cream, or coconut ice cream blended with an avocado smoothie. Your local guide will ride in a cab with you so you may return to your lodging.

I had a great tour with Nhu, the food was fantastic, he was very knowledgable and it was so good to be in an authentic local area and get to see and learn more about Vietnam as well as the food. He arrived very promptly to pick me up at my hotel and we went via taxi to district 3 and started the tour with a bahn mi. Definitely plan to be hungry for the tour as there is a lot of food to try! Well worth it!
Binh was very engaging and helped showcase the depth and variety of Vietnamese street food. The tour was just the right length, and the dishes were delicious and filling. Make sure you begin with an empty stomach.
Absolutely brilliant tour with Tony. 10/10. His English is phenomenal, his knowledge of food amazing, and he navigated the back streets of District 3 to take us to places we would never have found by ourselves. He knows all the best locations, and seeing the street food markets at night is unforgettable. Do this tour!
